is described in a prophecy 
occupy number of chapters in Book of Ezekiel
from chapter 40-48, 9 chapters.

 but was allowed to be destroy and 
the Israelites were taken captives into Babylon for seventy years
-->
<p>Temple of Ezekiel is a promise from God to the Israelites and future Israelis 
during the time of their captivities by the Babylonian.
The promise coincite with the time the LORD will gather all the Israelis 
again from the four corners (the 4 direction, North, East, South, West) of the earth, 
a temple will then be build.
</p>
<p>The temple will be a replica of a pattern given by the LORD and will be the 2nd one made, 
the 1st one is the Solomon's temple.

  title="Solomon & Ezekiel's Temple">carelinks.net - Ezekiel & Solomon's Temple</a> - 
  gives us biblical verses concerning the design of both Ezekiel & Solomon's Temple
  that can not be denied, unmistaken that both temples are identical and 
  are directed from the same pattern given by LORD God.

<blockquote><b>I Chronicles 28</b>
<br/><span class="small"><b>(NKJV)</b></span>
<sup class="verseNum">11</sup> Then <b>David</b> gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat;

<sup class="verseNum">19</sup> All this, said David, <b>the LORD</b> made me understand in writing <b>by his hand upon me</b>, even all the works of this pattern.
</blockquote>
These are undeniable evidence that King Solomon's Temple was NOT horizontal but rather of a vertical structure, 
plus its' desgin pattern was NOT from human source!

<b>King Solomn's Temple was a design given by the LORD to King David</b>! 
The site has enough measure and fact presented that one can NOT overlook the Truth.
Author admits since <b>the pattern was from the LORD it MUST fulfill its' purpose</b>, 
even if the 1st copy was destroyed. 
</p>
<p>
The <a href="tabletsTestimony.html">Tablets of Testimony</a> (Ten Commandment) was made twice, 
Moses brake the 1st set of tablets and a 2nd one was re-made, so the Temple of the Almight God also!
Now there is enough lead to know how Ezekiel's Temple can be build, 
which will be like Solomon's Temple. 
Solomon Temple was the 1st temple made from the 2nd major blueprint from God (1st major blue print was the Tabernacle)!
</p>
<p>
<b>After the destruction of the 1st copy of God's temple pattern, i.e. Solomon's Temple, 
a 2nd one was ready set for the future</b> (the Millennium)! This is why the LORD said the following and it can NOT be any clearer 
that it is not a condition of should or shouldn't build a temple.
</p>
<blockquote><b>Ezekiel 43</b>
<br/><span class="small"><b>(KJV)</b></span>
<sup class="verseNum">10</sup> Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
<sup class="verseNum">11</sup> And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
<br/>
<br/><span class="small"><b>(NKJV)</b></span>
<sup class="verseNum">10</sup> Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern. 
<sup class="verseNum">11</sup> And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and perform them. 
</blockquote>
Concerning the distant future of Israel, 
while they & Ezekiel were in captivity the forseen building of Ezekiel's Temple were given. 
Go study these surrounding verses.
<blockquote>
<b>Ezekiel 37:21 (KJV)</b>
<br/>And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
<br/>
<br/><b>Ezekiel 37:25 (KJV)</b>
<br/>And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
<br/>
<br/><b>Ezekiel 40:1 (KJV)</b>
<br/>In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
 <br/>
<br/><b>Ezekiel 43:7 (KJV)</b>
<br/>And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
<br/>
<br/><b>Ezekiel 44:9 (KJV)</b>
<br/>Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.

<p>
The Ezekiel temple has most of the dimension set out, some material direction, 
other reliable source in Bible tell us of what Solomon's temple was like,
therefore what material to use for building Ezekiel temple.

<h4 id="ezekielTemple">Ezekiel Temple</h4>
<a href="http://www.sonstoglory.com/ThirdTempleEzekielsMillennialTemple.htm" 
  title="Ezekiel's Temple">sonstoglory.com - Ezekiel's Temple</a>
<br/>Ezekiel's Temple will be the glory of a future Israel re-establish by God, 
a future not far from our time.
It can be said as the 2nd major design given to the Israelites by God through the prophet Ezekiel, 
after the Tabernacle the 1st major blueprint.
<p>

The website have a very interesting pictorial depiction of the "Dwelling Place" of God.
Please note in the Millennium, people will start to live much longer. 
A child will live to a hundred years old, Isaiah 65:20.
It may be possible that a person during the later part of that period will live 
to near a thousand year old! like back in the early days of creation.
</p>
<p>Have a look at <b>the plan, the model, the district, the land division,</b>
althought it can be hard to comprehend this grand design but
every little measurement have some meanings, just like the Tabernacle.
Author believe <b>the routine and ritual</b> perform within Ezekiel's Temple
is a pointer to a more distant future, after the Final Judgement.
In short it depicts the "age of eternal life" during the 
new Jerusalem (of the free woman) that descend from God out of heaven and other perspective.
</p>
<p><b>WARNING</b>: Author do NOT share any other belief with www.sonstoglory.com, for example their 
interpretation of "rapture" (author wouldn't use that term), the two witnesses (especially), and so on.
Author do NOT believe the prince mentioned in Ezekiel is King "David" resurrected, 
the person may be of David's line for example <b>Ezekiel 45:8 my "princes"</b> is used, 
indicating the prince is not the same one person but are they who are appointed,
will marry, have children and die as indicated in Book of Ezekiel.
</p>

The temple and the district surrounding it are much too large to fit on current Temple Mount site.
They will be build after some major events, in which an earthquake is one of them,
that split Mount of Olives in two, Zechariah 14:2-10.
